1930 Willow Glen School
Willow Glenn School in Friends Creek Twp east of Maroa and west of Argenta in Macon Co, IL.
I would like to hear from anyone who could tell me names of the children in the 1930 photo.
School teacher was Helena SMITH. My 2nd great-grandfather John MARSH donated land for the
school. My mother Ella Mae MARSH was the child 2nd from the back in the middle row. I don't
know which of the other children were which. Some of the other childrens names were Donald
PULLIAM, Charles KATENBACK, Mary CARLYLE, Dale HENSON, Lula HENSON. I don't know the others
does anyone else out there know the other children?

I have names for the 1935 photo if anyone is interested.
My mother Ella Mae and her siblings Eugene"Pete", Alice and Shirley MARSH are in the 1935 photo.

1936 Willow Glenn School

My mother is an older child in the back row of this, I believe 1936 or possibly 1937 Willow Glenn Grade school class.
I believe mom's brother Euegene "Pete" MARSH and two of her sisters Alice and Shirley MARSH are in this photo.
My mother was not in the 1940s photo but her brother Pete and Bob MARSH and sisters Alice and Shirley are.
If anyone can tell me names on this or any other school photos on this page, that would be great.

Shirley, Carol & Bob MARSH were my maternal aunts and uncle. Carol was the youngest.
My uncles, Pete and Bob MARSH and aunts Alice and Shirley MARSH are in this photo. The photo
is very old and faded but I hope someone will recognize some child or the teacher in
it.
